Hi Dale, to get out of X (or not-so-X in your case :O) ) you dont need the sysreqs every time. since they are somehow a 'very hard hrmmm "feature"' ;). Look into your Xorg.conf file under /etc/X11 and look for "dont zap" or something like that (I removed this from my xorg.conf ;) ) and remove that (or better comment it out). After that you kann kill X without disturbing the kernel (and risk your data) with ALT-Backspace. You will get back a console. Log in as root and do a "telinit 2" since the setuo still think of running runlevel 5 "without X" and this is not a sane setup: Runlevel 5 is "with X" and runlevel 2 is "without X". To restart X the clean way do "teleinit 5" as root. HTH Keep hacking! mcc -- Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text.
